The P3ProSwing connects to the computer using the RS232 Serial port. Some computers do not have a RS232 Serial port, but instead use a USB port for accessories like PDAs and digital cameras. If your computer is one of these you will need our USB-to-Serial conversion cable (PN 33111) to connect the P3ProSwing to your computer. This is a full spectrum converter which is required P3ProSwing for data communication between the P3ProSwing and your computer. Most likely you will not find a full spectrum serial port converter at your local electronic store that will function adequately with the P3ProSwing. We highly suggest that you get this proven converter. It is inexpensive and it is guaranteed. Click here for more on our our USB-to-Serial conversion cable |
